Sorry if anyone got the wrong idea from my post. AWPs make a lot of sense and I'm impressed that Jasmine_Park has asked its' customers and potential customers their views - just how many major businesses do that???
OK, I have a two person pop-up - that means crawling/bum-shuffling around the tent and kneeling on pea gravel if you don't have several layers between you and it frankly doesn't make for comfort. (Sorry, did a lot of work on Roman sites on digs and pea gravel is oftern found above tesselated pavements and it doesn't do a lot for your knees!
If you can do a lot of camping, then the additional expense for such layers would be worth it but, if like me, you can only get away for a couple of nights at a time maybe 9 max weekends a year, such additional protection (plus possibly rock pegs) is going to be an issue both in terms of outlay/recouping the expense, time (and because I am tied to ferries this can be a critical factor) and convenience as well as comfort. On the subject of comfort, I can imagine a deep layer of pea gravel might actually offer the restless sleeper on a sim a better night's sleep than unyielding grass, though not sure about the noise. when turning over !.
Primarily, campsites have to pay their way and if AWPs are the answer to keeping sites viable, then it will happen. What concerns me is that a site (not referring to the OP as their intentions stated on here) advertizes AWPs but does not say what type; charges a fee for groundsheet hire or for the AWP itself and if a tenter is faced with angular material and hasn't been told that when booking and refuses the pitch, loses all monies paid out.
